The new group KickFlip has topped the weekly album charts of Hanteo Chart and Circle Chart.

KickFlip‘s debut album ‘Flip it, Kick it!’, released on January 20, entered the top of the weekly album chart (2025.01. 20~2025.01. 26) of Hanteo Chart, a website that aggregates album sales, and the weekly album chart and weekly retail album chart (2025.01. 19~2025.01. 25) of Circle Chart.

As of January 15, before their official debut, the album had surpassed 300,000 pre-orders and sold 243,949 copies on the debut day according to Hanteo Chart.

KickFlip’s title song ‘Mama Said (What are you trying to become?)’ (Mama Said) (세드) is showing off its presence as a ‘K-pop super rookie’. In the first week of its debut, it impressed K-pop fans at home and abroad with its powerful live performances on music shows.

Kickflip‘s own content presented during the holiday also caught everyone’s attention. Starting on the 27th, through Kickflip‘s official SNS channel, JYP’s senior artists, including DAY6‘s Young K, who wrote the lyrics for the song ‘WARRIORS’ included in ‘Flip it, Kick it!’, TWICE’s Nayeon and Momo, Stray Kids‘ Changbin and I.N, NMIXX’s Haewon and BAE, have sequentially released a ‘JYP Debut Special Lecture’ series of videos for the youngest Kickflip. Videos that highlight the chemistry between JYP‘s seniors and juniors are gaining popularity with a combined total of over 1 million views on YouTube.

Following that, on January 31 and February 1, new episodes of ‘JYP Debut Special Lecture’ featuring ITZY’s Yezi and Lia and JYP‘s representative producer Park Jin-young (JY Park) will be released respectively.
